Two Israeli bystanders leapt in to save a wounded man’s life following a mass shooting in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter.
Dvir Benesh and Shai Gino, both trained medics in the Israel Defense Forces, happened to be nearby when a gunman opened fire in the busy tourist district last Thursday evening. Gino, 28, is a former IDF captain in now married to an American and studying for U.S. citizenship. His friend Benesh, 26, served in a special unit of the IDF.

Gino said they were standing outside a pizza place when the alleged assailant, identified by police as Travis Fereydoun Sarreshteh, 32, approached, yelling for people “to get out of his way.”
